Dance Me to the End of Love

"Quincy Quarry", an original blues song, shares the real story of only one of the many tragedies at an old granite quarry; a quarry later filled with the earth from Boston's Big Dig. 

"House Of The Rising Sun + Hammered Dulcimer (yangqin 扬琴)" demonstrates a particularly unique skill: the simultaneous singing and instrumental improvisation on a rare instrument of classic songs.

"Hip Hop Hammered Dulcimer Freestyle (yangqin)" is me jamming to a random beat. First take.

A cantopop ballad for our cantopop goddess.

A first run at singing Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death" while playing the Pokemon theme song

Because I could not stop for Death —
He kindly stopped for me —
The Carriage held but just Ourselves —
And Immortality.

We slowly drove — He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility —

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess — in the Ring —
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain —
We passed the Setting Sun —

Or rather — He passed Us —
The Dews drew quivering and Chill —
For only Gossamer, my Gown —
My Tippet — only Tulle —

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground —
The Roof was scarcely visible —
The Cornice — in the Ground —

Since then — 'tis Centuries — and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity —

Still a bit of work in progress, but I thought the ending is neat enough to share
